New gaming

I looked up Saudi Arabia, and it seems like some parts of the country are on 127V whereas others are on 220V. If you're in a nominal 127V area and have bad power in your house, I could definitely see the voltage sagging enough to give the PSU problems.

Bad power wouldn't be my first guess but I wouldn't rule it out either. Run Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously to really stress the system's power draw and see if it crashes more or less often.

I changed that RAM. And plugged the PC through a electricity stabilizer.

It seems to be running fine but the start up takes at about 2 minutes which is it normal for solid state drive

2 minutes for an SSD is not normal, an SSD should be booting up in seconds not minutes (even with tons of start-up programs).

Either something is up with your configuration, your SSD controller is screwy, or some change to the power has your system behaving strangely altogether but that is not a normal boot time, nowhere near it.

Well, it really depends on how much initialization crap his mobo needs to do. I can see 30 seconds from when Windows starts loading until the desktop. 90 seconds (+/- because of inaccuracy in estimating time) is certainly possible for some boards.

Don't even get me started on servers. Freaking DL 580 G7 takes over 5 minutes to post.

I'd understand for servers with the amount of hardware checks and such they run before really booting up. But for this build unless he has some serious start-up apps booting up off the mechanical drive, I just don't see this being reasonable.

That's what I'm saying though, it might not have anything to do with any applications that are running. A lot of that time could be spent in the mobo initialization. Obviously, we won't know which it is until the OP reports back, but memory checks, AHCI controller timeouts, boot from CD timeouts, etc. can add up quick.

Wouldn't by default the board not run most of those checks/wait for timeouts? I'm aware you can set-up a board to do so but 2 minutes is still awfully long for what is basically a fresh install. Unless his board for some reason defaulted to test basically everything on every boot 2 minutes is crazy for a consumer class board in my opinion.

Late update I know

but after a change of RAM and an update to the motherboard BIOS update that came on the 20th of July for Asus sabertooth.

The desktop is working like a charm thanks everyone for your support.

:thumbsup: Glad everything is working out for you.

According to Tom's Hardware's review of the GTX 680 compared to the 670, the difference is more like 5%. Even less worth it then.
